The tenor ukulele body produces the clear ukulele tone, with a bit more projection than the standard soprano body. It's ideal for on-stage performance—whether rhythmic strumming, or working out some inspired melodies, the projection and clarity of this Lanikai uke is significant.

Unadorned by synthetic enhancements, the SMP-TCA Lanikai tenor ukulele captures the pure essence and beauty of the natural world. Lanikai's Exotic series features a solid top, back, and sides, slotted headstock, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, maple and rosewood skunk stripe and an ovangkol neck. A custom wide bone nut was used to increase the string spacing, making the Lanikai SMP-TCA tenor ukulele more comfortable for guitarists who are expanding their sonic palette with the ukulele. And thanks to the cutaway design, you have comfortable access to the acoustic-electric uke's entire fretboard.

The acoustic-electric ukulele comes equipped with a Fishman Sonitone undersaddle pickup, and a Fishman Sonicore preamp.

With the easy playability, and included instruction booklet written by renowned ukulele instructor Mary Lou Dempler, you will be playing in a matter of minutes. If you have never played ukulele before, get ready for a world of fun. The ukulele is an addicting instrument that can and will be taken everywhere. If you can play one ukulele you can play them all.

The Lanikai SMP-TCA tenor ukulele is strung with Aquila Nylgut strings and includes a Lanikai Learn to Play instruction booklet.

I am very disappointed with the quality I've seen in this ukulele. Not sure if I'd recommend this brand. I'm returning the second uke.
